If you've changed the filter by yourself, it's possible that you could have forgotten to enable the fuel pump, which you had to turn off before changing the fuel filter. (If I remember correctly) It's on the passenger side up near the suspension on/off switch, but on the side of the vehicle, not towards the front where the suspension switch is. Best of luck.

Disconnect the fuel line at the filter, wrap in cloth and put a jar over it. Activate the fuel pump and see if there is flow. Just because the fuel pump whines does not mean it is pumping fuel. I have seen the impellers and seals fail but the motor work, especially after running out of gas when ethanol enhanced gas was used. If there is flow, Follow the lines up to the engine, paying close attention to the jacking areas. I have seen garages crush fuel lines under the car with their floor jacks. If that's all OK, locate the rubber section of the return line between the engine and firewall. Working from underneath, up, it's the second largest line under the car. Pinch off the rubber line and try starting the car. If it starts and runs, replace the fuel pressure regulator which is stuck open.

when store a vehicle with ethanol gas the gas can evaporate and the gas gauge can get stuck. first see if it has a fuel filter. if it does change it and then you need to go to the fuel valve. take the cap off and take a small flat head screw driver press in on the fuel valve. if fuel comes out and it does not crank then you have a firing issue. make sure after you change the fuel filter to cycle the key 4 times to the on off position so the filter can fill up with fuel. if that does not work then you have a firing problem. you may need to put some good gas in on top of the old fuel.

Not sure if you can get at it but..Look at the tank where the fill hose comes in and see if you can loosen the clamp and remove the filler tubeit would be easy to siphon from there.I would also change the fuel filter.The fan clutch,,if you grab it by a blade and spin it ,it shouldn'tgo around more than a 1 turn or less. If it spins any more it is bad.If you can't get at the filler neck,since it's fuel injected you could pump the fuel out at the filter connection.. Have to jump the relay tho.

Disconnect your fuel filter and turn the key on. If it shoots gas several feet away, then the start cycle on the fuel pump is probably good. if not, then get a new fuel pump. If it's good, then the problem will be in your fuel regulator, or injectors.

Change the fuel filter. If that doesn't work? Check the line from the tank to the carb. If that doesn't work? Disconnect the line from the carb and turn key on or turn the engine over If no gas comes out? You need a fuel pump.

Careful doing this. Disconnect the fuel filter line between the tank and the filter. Have a bucket or equivalent below to catch incomimg gasoline pouring out. Have some one turn the ignition key to on. Do Not Try and turn the key to START!! Just turn the key to the ON position. This will kick in the oil switch to feed gas to the engine for 5 seconds.

If gas comes out the filter is fine. If not the filter is clogged up fully
